The Falcon Apartments
Two ghosts have appeared frequently in this building’s hallway, near the mailboxes and the manager’s apartment. The ghosts are reported to be two former residents of the apartments: Mr. Cooke, who always watched over and repaired the mailboxes. The other was Jimmy, who always had a fear of dying alone. Mr. Cooke died in 1989, and appears to have never left. He has been spotted where his chair once stood, and walking down the hallway. In 1994, the building was devastated by a series of fires. The first fire left a circular burn spot on the very location that Mr. Cooke used to sit on during his mortal life. Jimmy kept to himself during his years at the apartment complex, and would talk to various other tenants as they passed by. Contrary to his wish of having someone to watch him, he died alone. He is often seen sitting where his chair once was. Various ghostly happenings have occurred on the premises such as knockings on the doors, slamming of locked mailboxes, and many others in apartment 101, which some say can be attributed to a third ghost. The ghosts of Mr. Cooke and Jimmy have never been seen together.
I think this is a very inersting story.I do however half believe because
I am not sure if goast r real or not that is still on my mind. But I do watch biography on tv that have research on super natural that can’t be explained.but I do continue to read these stories and do more research.

Heceta Head Light is said to be haunted by the spirit of an old lighthouse keeper’s wife, named Rue, who people say remains becasue she loved the house. She has been seen in the attic by a construction worker and he dropped a window he was putting in into the room. When he went to fix it from the outside (he wouldn’t go into the attic anymore) the glass that was scattered all over the floor before was swept into a neat pile. No one had been in the attic since the worker had run away. She has been seen quite a few times but I’m not sure of any other stories. I would like to know if anyone else has heard any more stories.

The ghost at Heceta Head is a rather recent addition to the light house. The light keeper and his wife were friends of my grand parents, and my mother, who is in her mid- eighties remembers having crackers and milk there as small child. For decades nobody spoke of anything there out of the ordinary. So, the ghost must be another new arrival from California.

I actually lived around the corner from the Falcon apartments for years and I’ve never heard anything about ghosts.

How come you can not believe in God? Saying that haunts are real the devil has done something to you. You should belive in God and know that haunting is not really real. Ghosts are not real only angles. Ask god tonight if ghosts and hauntings are real and see what he says.

so brittany if you don’t think this stuff is real and that god does not want us to dicuss these very real things then what the hell are you doing on this website! do us all a favor and stay off this website until you grow up and quit contradicting yourself with your words and actions. How old are you anyway,you do not sound very intelligent.
